EDITORS COMMENTS
The flu. Illustration for Le Rire (colour litho) captures the essence of a humorous yet relatable scene from early 20th-century France. Created by Georges Delaw, this satirical cartoon was published in Le Rire magazine on 22 February 1908, showcasing his talent for caricatures and social commentary. In this delightful artwork, we are transported to a sickbed where the protagonist is battling the dreaded influenza. The exaggerated features and comical expressions of the characters add an amusing touch to an otherwise unpleasant situation. Delaw's mastery lies in his ability to blend humor with satire, highlighting both the absurdity and universality of illness. The artist's attention to detail extends beyond the characters themselves; he also cleverly incorporates elements of French culture and European medical practices into the illustration. From the intricately designed furniture and bedding to references such as Asklepios, symbolizing medicine in ancient Greece, every aspect adds depth to this satirical portrayal. This print not only serves as a reminder of our shared experiences with sickness but also offers a glimpse into historical perspectives on health and healthcare. It reminds us that even during challenging times like these, finding humor can provide solace and bring people together. As part of Bridgeman Images' collection, this artwork continues to captivate audiences worldwide while preserving an important piece of French cultural history.
